Top Five Media Lies on the Migrant Caravan

One of the biggest news stories of the year was the attempted breaching of the southwest border near San Diego, following weeks of coverage of the so-called "migrant caravan."

But one common element to much of that reporting hasn't been just bias, but outright misrepresentation and inflammatory politicization of the issue by the establishment media.

The following list covers some of the top media lies about the migrant caravan we've seen over the past month, but this list is by no means exhaustive.

Media Lie No. 1: The migrant caravan has no intention of breaching the border wall.

Earlier this month, CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta confronted President Trump during a November 7 press conference to attack Trump's claim that the caravan was an invasion. During the exchange, Acosta said that it was not an invasion. He cited a campaign video showing migrants climbing over walls, with Acosta saying about the caravan: "They're not going to be doing that."

But in fact, that's exactly what they did:

Jim Acosta lectured President Trump about the migrant caravan saying:

- Not an invasion- Hundreds of miles away- Would not jump border wall

I overlaid actual footage from today of the migrant caravan storming the border to invade the US over Jim's question.

Media Lie No. 2: The caravan is largely women and children seeking asylum from violence in their home countries.

This has been the narrative pushed by the media since the caravan was first announced last month. And even after the attempted breaching of the border -- during which apparently no one presented themselves to claim asylum -- this was still the narrative. For example, read this CNN contributor:

Reminder: these are asylum seekers. The United States government is attacking asylum seekers. https://t.co/3qAWozFB11
